Part of the problem these days is people have slowly stopped mentoring young professionals like that. Yes it takes time, but it’s either paying it forward or leaving the world better than you found it. As a professional I have obligations to society, and I believe those include the integrity to review everything I professionally endorse to a reasonable degree, and to help guide and instruct younger members of my career when given opportunities. It’s important to say “hey, here’s what you did wrong, here’s why it’s wrong, here’s how you should do it.”
Bro during my intership I called a couple students into my office to say hey, you made a mistake, this is rife with typos, you didn’t even fill out this section, and they took it so badly. I was shocked. We were only a couple years apart in age but seriously they acted like they had a limp whenever you asked anyone to do anything.
A standout was when a patient’s BMI was recorded as 6,000 (obviously imopossible) and we all had a good chuckle about it and then I asked them to go find a a nurse to fix it because we didn’t know how to/didn’t have access on our end, and they gave me shocked pikachu faces. Like okay, you can’t correct that yourselves, what can you do…crickets. They pushed back so hard against anything I told them to do. It was my first experience managing people and they were acting like I was weird and bad and wrong for trying to tell them to do normal hospital stuff. So then I feel like the bad guy
